Love the ocean washing over life image...did you write that Anil? I often wonder -in the logic of palm reading-if your lines change because of an accident, for example, if your life is suppose to turn out differently? No? I guess that would mean that your life line -er life-could be extended! Fate takes a skillful ride over the waves of life.

Pink Dogwood: Thank you. Yes, I wrote it to illustrate the 'unsaid' in the picture. Implied, but unsaid.

Bobbie: Thank you.

Cynthia: Thank you. Yes, I wrote that.

I've always been intrigued about palmistry, and the occasionally uncanny insights that experienced palm readers draw from the lines.

I'm told the lines do not remain steady always, they change.

I liked the clip, and the last scene.

Darlene: It isn't in English.

The institute is a very old building, and yes, the Palmist picked up a hard seat. When I first noticed him he was busy with a tourist couple who were taking turns showing him their palms, actually the sides of their palms.

Then they went away and he got back to reading the book in his hands, and in all the time I was there never once did he look up from the book he was reading.

And he did not move one bit either.

Amber Star: It's the dichotomy between Science and Palmistry that first drew my attention to the scene in front of me. I wonder if he was aware of the seeming contradiction his presence outside the Institute of Science presented.

The Palmist and the large poster advertising his services sat apart, and at first glance I thought the tourist couple were asking him for directions about town, that is until I saw the poster at the other end and their palms they held out to him.

Gomu: Yes, short post.

Vandana: Thank you. The irony of life on the street.

Maybe if science could extend its 'palm' to the Palmist he might be able to tell what future has in store for it :-)

Marja-leena: Rightly said. Three points of focus, and the Palmist is at the centre of it.

Renee: Thank you.

Butternut Squash: Thanks. Maybe that indeed is the case.

Milind: Thank you. Konkan journeys are unforgettable.

Lori Ann: Thank you. No, I did not proffer my palm, prefer not to know things. Makes it easier to deal with things than the anticipation of the uncertain.

Fishbowl: Thank you. In the collusion is a mystic synergy of the unknown, and the uncertain.

palmistry, astrology - fascinating subjects. depsite all logical and "modern" thinking, i can't entirely discount these two fields. the line about waves washing away that that has been traced out - v.beautiful.. Not sure if u have seen the movie Next- not a grt movie or anything. but the hero can see the future and he says everytime he's seen it, it changes...

About Me

At the turn of the century I returned to Bombay from Goa, not an easy decision to make. A software company let me in, then another, then yet another. Time ran past. This time around I was wise enough not to give chase. So occasionally I take my camera along, searching for corners, finding them where none exist. And some of them are painted blue.
